    Used printers

    • How many hours in use on average - hundreds? (@op)

      • I'll jump in and say that the hours of use on a printer are somewhat irrelevant, especially if it's been regularly maintained with parts being replaced as they fail over time. i've got a couple of older printers that have clocked over 10k hours, meanwhile i also have others that have only clocked 3 digits. Both the old ones and the new ones have the same reliability as they both follow the same maintenance schedule. What's more important is the specific make, model and the quality of the replacement parts that have been put in it over time.

        From the printers the OP put up i have experience with the 2 ultimakers, ultimaker is an excellent brand, great reliability, build quality and ongoing support, one of my 10k+ (i think it's actually past 25k now) is an ultimaker 2. However nowadays depending on your needs you may be better off getting a bambu

          Maybe it's just the word used versus refurbished I'm getting hung up on. Used implies they haven't done any maintenance directly before selling them.

            @redpen: i'd say you're right to be wary / concerned. All things wear out over time, and 3d printers are no exception (stepper motors, lead screws nozzles etc). Not to say these are bad, but there is always some risk.

          • @redpen: I don't have any experience with the 3d printer models being sold, but I can say from my experience on the ender 3 and building a rat-rig from scratch using parts sourced from Ali express, amazon, ebay, bunnings and other local retailers, that everything on a 3d printer is user replaceable. I'd have no issues buying a second hand 3d printer if the price is right. They're very different to say a tv, fridge or laptop where once they break its usually cheaper or similar priced to just get a new one.

            @redpen: Yeah sorry, as @khunaus said, you certainly have the right to be wary and concerned. Like buying anything 2nd hand, it's good to find out how it's been treated and to do your research. The more you can learn about something the more you can know it's value.

            I've seen people sell printers that have passed 5k hours and the printer is complete trash, because the person selling never gave it the ongoing maintenance it deserved.
            But then i've also seen people sell printers of similar hours that are in near perfect condition (and depending on their mods sometimes better than brand new). It all depends who's selling the printer, how they have treated it, and their experience.

            Evashape is a pretty reputable company, if their offering some sort of warranty on core components after sale it should be a safe purchase, but would be good to find out exactly what their warranty covers.

    PSA - for most people…just go buy yourself a Bambu x1c or p1s. Better crowdsourced support and fast good quality prints out of the box.

    Ultimakers, Markforged and other high end stuff have their use but outside of professional use, they're not going to produce better quality or faster prints and you're unlikely going to be using exotic filaments.

    The real advantage of these industrial printers is in the service and support - and the occasional exotic specific filament which will cost you an arm and a leg and may not even print that well. My experience, they may not even be more reliable than a good consumer printer (e.g. prusa if you like orange, bambu's if you are willing to trade open source for walled garden etc)

    • The Bambu stuff looks impressive. Especially the enclosed multi-material one with a rec retail for around $1.4K
      Might be time to upgrade my old Ender 5pro when the Bambu's are next on sale :)

    • The onyx pro is an exception as a very different printer though with the impregnated continuous fibre giving crazy part strength in 2 dimensions. The modix is also massive. Apart from those, yes, go buy a Bambu.
